Face Off by David Baldacci

Jugalbandi is the word that came to my mind when I read this collection of short stories.
Jugalbandi is a performance in Indian classical music, that features a duet of two solo musicians ( vocal or instrumental, playing different instruments). Both musicians act as lead players, and a playful competition exists between the two performers. Such concerts are usually a hit, as we get to see 2 popular performers known for different styles on the same platform and it is double the fun.
Faceoff is a jugalbandi with 2 authors working in tandem on a single story And the result is just as delightful as a classical jugalbandhi.
Getting together 2 acclaimed authors to write a single story featuring their main protagonists would have been quite a task. But, none of the stories felt disconnected, and I enjoyed the easy flow. I haven't read all these authors featured in this book. This has made me take interest add some new authors to my TBR.
